Medical Research

With a small widespread patient base, research into ANE has been challenging for the medical profession. Dr Derek Neilson studies genetic contributions to the disorder in the United States in particular with RANBP2. In Japan, Professor Masashi Mizuguchi and his team continue their research into ANE, having completed a study on its links with HLA Genotypes in Japanese children. Research into the Auto Immune response, particularly associations with Anti-Eph antibody is another area that is yet to be fully investigated. Other fields of research may impact on the triggers of ANE such as vaccinations for the Herpes Simplex virus. Slowly case reports are being published internationally and these to will assist researchers in the future. Below are just a few articles that show whilst limited by patient numbers and funding, research is ongoing in many countries.
